Under the current law, North Carolina does not allow students under the age of 16 to register for Continuing Education courses, with the exception of self supporting community service courses that may be offered in the Fall.
When To Register
You may register for a course any time up to the first day of class. However, you should register early to be sure you get a spot in the classes you want before the classes are filled. If you do not pre-register at least three days in advance, call the extension for the class; the list is on page 1.
Late registration is discouraged and you may not be allowed to enter classes after the starting date.
After You Register
Plan to attend the classes you registered for as sched­uled. You will not be contacted unless there is a change in the class; for example, if the class is postponed or full.
Dropping and Adding Classes
If you want to drop a class and receive a refund, the amount of your refund will depend on when you drop the class. See the refund policy. If you want to add a class, you can register up until the first day of class. You can replace one course with another if they have the same registration fee by filling out a drop/add form available at any GTCC location.
Fees, Books, Supplies
Registration fees, which are listed with each class descrip­tion, do not include the cost of textbooks or supplies. Fees are set by the NC General Assembly and are based on the number of contact hours for each course. Some of the courses listed in this catalog require textbooks; textbooks are sold at the GTCC Bookstores.
You should buy books and supplies at the bookstore of the campus you will attend. The Jamestown Bookstore is open Monday - Thursday, 8a-8p, and Friday 8a-4p. The Greensboro bookstore is open Monday through Thursday, 9a - 7p. and Friday from 9a-12n. The High Point bookstore is open Monday through Thursday from 9a-7p and Friday 9a-12n. You can also buy books online at www.gtcc.bkstr.com.
You must buy any supplies required for a course. Depending on materials used in the course, a modest fee may be charged.
Students in all continuing education classes will be assessed a $5 CAPS fee to help cover expenses associated with providing campus access, parking and security at the college. Students can obtain parking stickers at any GTCC Campus Police office or the cashier's office in Jamestown. Parking permits (stickers) are valid at all GTCC campuses.
Some programs require malpractice insurance. These fees, where applicable, are included in the published course fee. Programs requiring malpractice insurance are Certified Nursing Assistant and Direct Care Worker.
If you have any questions, call the extension for the class; the list is on page 1.
An Important Message For Senior Citizens
Senior citizens, age 65 or older, who qualify as legal NC residents, may enroll for one (1) free non-credit course per semester. This does not include Self supporting. classes and they should be noted in the schedule. The following Course Codes CSP 4000, SEF 3001 or CPX 7XXX indicates a self supporting class and seniors must pay the registration fee. Senior citizen registration fee exemp­tion does not supersede the Course Repetition Policy if the same occupational extension class is registered for more than twice in a five year period. Senior citizens are required to submit a registration form and to purchase any required supplies or textbooks.
An Important Message For Teachers
Guilford County school teachers who register for a course at GTCC for recertification credit are required by their school system to get prior approval before taking the course. Certified teachers who are not currently employed should be certain that the course is appropriate for their area of certification.
Anyone, not just teachers, may take any course desig­nated as a "Teacher Recertification" Course.
Teacher recertification credit is available for most com­puter courses, as well as any and all courses approved by the school system, at the rate of one TRC per 10 hours of instruction for students who attend at least 80% of a course. Prior approval from the school system is mandatory for currently employed teachers.
Refunds
The College will make a 100% refund of registration fees if you officially withdraw from class before the first class meeting and make the request in writing.
The College will refund 75% of the registration fee (of tuition only) if you officially withdraw from the class on the first day of class or before the class reaches the census date. The census date varies from class to class.
To receive a refund, a student must officially withdraw from class and request a refund in writing.
If a class is canceled or full, GTCC will make a full refund. If additional information is needed, please contact the Continuing Education department. Refunds are processed on a monthly basis. However, please allow 6-8 weeks to receive the refund.
The College refund policy is established by state legisla­tive action and is subject to change without prior notice to students. The refund policy stated above was in effect at the time this catalog was pub¬lished.
Course Repetition Policy
In 1993, the N.C. legislature enacted a law that requires anyone, including senior citizens, who takes the same occupational extension course more than twice within a five-year period to pay $6.19 per scheduled hour.
Example: CAS 4040 costs $73 first time
CAS 4040 costs $73 second time
CAS 4040 costs $131.80 third time
(20 class hours x $6.19 = $131.80)
These were the fees in effect at the time of printing and are subject to change without notice.
You are exempt from this policy if you are required by law to have certification/licensure.
Sponsorships
The purpose of a sponsorship is to help pay college expenses (tuition, fees, books, and supplies). Sponsors may include your employer or government agencies (i.e. Employment Security Commission, Job Link, or Vocational Rehabilitation).
Each semester, detailed sponsor information must be received by GTCC. This information may be mailed, faxed, or brought in person to the Cashier’s Office located in the Luther R. Medlin Campus Center. Authorizations must be received at the time of registration. If authorizations are not received at the time of registration, the student is expected to pay registration fees. It is the student’s respon­sibility to make sure the Cashier’s Office has received an authorization for each class. Contact the cashier's office when you register to ensure your sponsor information has been received and processed.
GTCC Sponsor Agreement forms can be obtained from the Cashier's Office.
Authorizations must include the student’s name, iden­tification number (SSN or SID), and semester to be paid by the sponsor. They must also be printed on company/agency letterhead, state the amount of detailed expenses to be paid for each student being sponsored, and include an agency representative name and phone number.
Bookstore charges may be applied to a sponsorship only if specified in the sponsor authorization.

Under the current law, North Carolina does not allow students under the age of 16 to register for Continuing Education courses, with the exception of self supporting community service courses that may be offered in the Fall.
When To Register
You may register for a course any time up to the first day of class. However, you should register early to be sure you get a spot in the classes you want before the classes are filled. If you do not pre-register at least three days in advance, call the extension for the class; the list is on page 1.
Late registration is discouraged and you may not be allowed to enter classes after the starting date.
After You Register
Plan to attend the classes you registered for as sched­uled. You will not be contacted unless there is a change in the class; for example, if the class is postponed or full.
Dropping and Adding Classes
If you want to drop a class and receive a refund, the amount of your refund will depend on when you drop the class. See the refund policy. If you want to add a class, you can register up until the first day of class. You can replace one course with another if they have the same registration fee by filling out a drop/add form available at any GTCC location.
Fees, Books, Supplies
Registration fees, which are listed with each class descrip­tion, do not include the cost of textbooks or supplies. Fees are set by the NC General Assembly and are based on the number of contact hours for each course. Some of the courses listed in this catalog require textbooks; textbooks are sold at the GTCC Bookstores.
You should buy books and supplies at the bookstore of the campus you will attend. The Jamestown Bookstore is open Monday - Thursday, 8a-8p, and Friday 8a-4p. The Greensboro bookstore is open Monday through Thursday, 9a - 7p. and Friday from 9a-12n. The High Point bookstore is open Monday through Thursday from 9a-7p and Friday 9a-12n. You can also buy books online at www.gtcc.bkstr.com.
You must buy any supplies required for a course. Depending on materials used in the course, a modest fee may be charged.
Students in all continuing education classes will be assessed a $5 CAPS fee to help cover expenses associated with providing campus access, parking and security at the college. Students can obtain parking stickers at any GTCC Campus Police office or the cashier's office in Jamestown. Parking permits (stickers) are valid at all GTCC campuses.
Some programs require malpractice insurance. These fees, where applicable, are included in the published course fee. Programs requiring malpractice insurance are Certified Nursing Assistant and Direct Care Worker.
If you have any questions, call the extension for the class; the list is on page 1.
An Important Message For Senior Citizens
Senior citizens, age 65 or older, who qualify as legal NC residents, may enroll for one (1) free non-credit course per semester. This does not include Self supporting. classes and they should be noted in the schedule. The following Course Codes CSP 4000, SEF 3001 or CPX 7XXX indicates a self supporting class and seniors must pay the registration fee. Senior citizen registration fee exemp­tion does not supersede the Course Repetition Policy if the same occupational extension class is registered for more than twice in a five year period. Senior citizens are required to submit a registration form and to purchase any required supplies or textbooks.
An Important Message For Teachers
Guilford County school teachers who register for a course at GTCC for recertification credit are required by their school system to get prior approval before taking the course. Certified teachers who are not currently employed should be certain that the course is appropriate for their area of certification.
Anyone, not just teachers, may take any course desig­nated as a "Teacher Recertification" Course.
Teacher recertification credit is available for most com­puter courses, as well as any and all courses approved by the school system, at the rate of one TRC per 10 hours of instruction for students who attend at least 80% of a course. Prior approval from the school system is mandatory for currently employed teachers.
Refunds
The College will make a 100% refund of registration fees if you officially withdraw from class before the first class meeting and make the request in writing.
The College will refund 75% of the registration fee (of tuition only) if you officially withdraw from the class on the first day of class or before the class reaches the census date. The census date varies from class to class.
To receive a refund, a student must officially withdraw from class and request a refund in writing.
If a class is canceled or full, GTCC will make a full refund. If additional information is needed, please contact the Continuing Education department. Refunds are processed on a monthly basis. However, please allow 6-8 weeks to receive the refund.
The College refund policy is established by state legisla­tive action and is subject to change without prior notice to students. The refund policy stated above was in effect at the time this catalog was pub¬lished.
Course Repetition Policy
In 1993, the N.C. legislature enacted a law that requires anyone, including senior citizens, who takes the same occupational extension course more than twice within a five-year period to pay $6.19 per scheduled hour.
Example: CAS 4040 costs $73 first time
CAS 4040 costs $73 second time
CAS 4040 costs $131.80 third time
(20 class hours x $6.19 = $131.80)
These were the fees in effect at the time of printing and are subject to change without notice.
You are exempt from this policy if you are required by law to have certification/licensure.
Sponsorships
The purpose of a sponsorship is to help pay college expenses (tuition, fees, books, and supplies). Sponsors may include your employer or government agencies (i.e. Employment Security Commission, Job Link, or Vocational Rehabilitation).
Each semester, detailed sponsor information must be received by GTCC. This information may be mailed, faxed, or brought in person to the Cashier’s Office located in the Luther R. Medlin Campus Center. Authorizations must be received at the time of registration. If authorizations are not received at the time of registration, the student is expected to pay registration fees. It is the student’s respon­sibility to make sure the Cashier’s Office has received an authorization for each class. Contact the cashier's office when you register to ensure your sponsor information has been received and processed.
GTCC Sponsor Agreement forms can be obtained from the Cashier's Office.
Authorizations must include the student’s name, iden­tification number (SSN or SID), and semester to be paid by the sponsor. They must also be printed on company/agency letterhead, state the amount of detailed expenses to be paid for each student being sponsored, and include an agency representative name and phone number.
Bookstore charges may be applied to a sponsorship only if specified in the sponsor authorization.
